It is not listed "at no charge", presuming you rent your property at all. Further, I suspect that there is a means to capture the fixed costs that this firm has such as a set up fee. There is no free lunch.
No charge to set up on their vast network but there are fees. Agree, no free lunch but that holds true for owners as well, but if you are familiar with fees in this type of business, the 10% Fee is quite reasonable consider the extensive marketing as well as handling all the phone calls and talking to the Travelers, which can be quite interesting.

Added bonus for me is that I can book and block out my Hilton Head Island Condos for friends and family and offer discounts. Many Management companies will not permit you to block out dates offer discounted rates.

This article explains it a little better than I can in this space.

Good luck.
